Child Custody in Domestic Violence Cases

Because custody cases are complicated and can turn into a legal battle
quickly, it is important to have an attorney ready to represent you. Our
team at the Center for Mediated Divorce has successfully handled numerous
child custody cases before. With our extensive background in domestic
violence and custody law, we can help you secure your rights to your children

In all child custody cases, judges make their decision based on what is
in the “best interest of the child.” This is determined by
a number of different factors, inducing:

The child’s safety

The child’s emotional, social, and educational needs

The home environment of each party

The child’ preference and relationship to each parent

Due to the nature of your domestic violence case, a judge is likely to
not award the abusing spouse or parent custody. However, an abuser may
try to claim that they have not committed domestic violence or other forms
of abuse in order to keep custody. In that situation, our domestic violence
attorneys in Irvine can help you prove that they have indeed caused you
or your children harm.

Domestic Violence does NOT require actual physical violence. Domestic Violence
may be verbal and emotional abuse, as well as economic abuse, where the
abuser controls the victim by not allowing any financial independence.
Often Domestic Violence is a combination of the above factors -- sometimes
with physical abuse; and sometimes without the physical abuse.
